My first successful install of 10.9 needs a few tweaks. I have followed you this far and I am very impressed with the outcome. There are still some things that I don't get and would be very appreciative if you could point me in the right direction. PROBLEM: After install, my webcam, mic, bluetooth and Audio are not present. The display is present but not at any great potential. My iCloud is not functioning (I read it might do that). If anyone can help me with these (kexts) or enlighten me on how I can do it for myself, I would be so very thankful.

Thank you Aman, for your response! I have Audio and my external drive has shown up. I cant get to enable qe/ci. Ive read how to edit kext but all seems to be vague at how to obtain a kext and write device ID & vendor ID and string without going into terminal.

Motherboard: H-RS880-uATX (Aloe) turns out the manufacturer is Foxconn

Graphics: Nvidia GTX 560 Ti

Audio: integrated Realtec ALC888S

I have two monitors hooked up to the graphics card. My primary via HDMI and my smaller secondary via DVI port (with an adapter that turns it into DB9, old monitor). I read that there would probably be issues with the HDMI port so I disconnected it and installed Niresh 10.9 with my secondary monitor on DVI. I installed with just "amd64 -v" as my boot flags. It took me a few installs to try some things out, but this seemed to work best. I didn't mess with anything in the Customize menu during disk setup. Once the OS loaded and permissions finished up I was able to reboot. I was able to get back to the OS is I booted into safe mode using -x, but everything was slow including startup. I finally narrowed it down to just typing in "GraphicsEnabler=Yes -v" and everything booted up and I had working ethernet, Audio, video. Mac store and iMessage works. I haven't gotten iCloud to connect yet.

So maybe if you try something similar to what I did you will find success.

I do have one other problem if anyone can help me. When I plug my primary monitor into the HDMI port it makes my second monitor (which I installed with) turn off and the HDMI video doesn't get to my second monitor. Any idea why that is? Maybe there is something I need to do in OS that I am ignorant of or maybe it is a setup issue. Or maybe I have to reset video resolution. I don't need Audio thru HDMI, just video and both monitors will have different resolutions.

I have Yosemite Zone working on Virtualbox fine. After downloading High Sierra Zone there is only a dmg and no ISO. I tried converting the dmg with hdiutil but it goes to 8GB and I get "no bootable media" in Virtualbox. Has anyone been able to do this yet?
